I'm like.... "yea, and you have to press on the gas AND brake too, so much work for your right foot... why don't you call an ambulance...."

I do have to say that the tiny engagement window on the stock Z clutch was pretty annoying in stop and go traffic. Also, while I don't think the clutch in the Z is too heavy, the old school clutches were a lot more work so people are probably just going off of the "horror stories" of people with really heavy clutches. I know I drove an older pickup with a decently heavy clutch with a super long travel and long throws and it was definitely more work than all of the other modern car clutches I've driven!

Until cars can 100% drive themselves, I'll stay in charge thank you!

-although I do really like the automatic climate control, best thing since sliced bread!

I'm glad I'm not the only one, usually hit it while parking or while going slow. Go to push in the clutch to downshift or start stopping, only to jam that darned brake pedal.

I do the same thing, I have to tuck my foot under and against the seat so I don't do that.
